--1 English Lexical Paradigms
--
-- Aarne Ranta 2003--2005
--
-- This is an API for the user of the resource grammar 
-- for adding lexical items. It gives functions for forming
-- expressions of open categories: nouns, adjectives, verbs.
-- 
-- Closed categories (determiners, pronouns, conjunctions) are
-- accessed through the resource syntax API, $Structural.gf$. 
--
-- The main difference with $MorphoEng.gf$ is that the types
-- referred to are compiled resource grammar types. We have moreover
-- had the design principle of always having existing forms, rather
-- than stems, as string arguments of the paradigms.
--
-- The structure of functions for each word class $C$ is the following:
-- first we give a handful of patterns that aim to cover all
-- regular cases. Then we give a worst-case function $mkC$, which serves as an
-- escape to construct the most irregular words of type $C$.
-- However, this function should only seldom be needed: we have a
-- separate module [``IrregEng`` ../../english/IrregEng.gf], 
-- which covers irregular verbss.

--2 Parameters 
--
-- To abstract over gender names, we define the following identifiers.

oper
  Gender : Type ; 

  human     : Gender ;
  nonhuman  : Gender ;
  masculine : Gender ;
  feminine : Gender ;

-- To abstract over number names, we define the following.

  Number : Type ; 

  singular : Number ;
  plural   : Number ;

-- To abstract over case names, we define the following.

  Case : Type ;

  nominative : Case ;
  genitive   : Case ;

-- Prepositions are used in many-argument functions for rection.
-- The resource category $Prep$ is used.



--2 Nouns

-- Nouns are constructed by the function $mkN$, which takes a varying
-- number of arguments.

  mkN : overload {

-- The regular function captures the variants for nouns ending with
-- "s","sh","x","z" or "y": "kiss - kisses", "flash - flashes"; 
-- "fly - flies" (but "toy - toys"),

    mkN : (flash : Str) -> N ;

-- In practice the worst case is to give singular and plural nominative.

    mkN : (man,men : Str) -> N ;

-- The theoretical worst case: give all four forms.

    mkN : (man,men,man's,men's : Str) -> N ;

-- Change gender from the default $nonhuman$.

    mkN : Gender -> N -> N ;

--3 Compound nouns 
--
-- A compound noun is an uninflected string attached to an inflected noun,
-- such as "baby boom", "chief executive officer".

    mkN : Str -> N -> N
  } ;


--3 Relational nouns 

  mkN2 : overload {
    mkN2 : N -> Prep -> N2 ; -- access to
    mkN2 : N -> Str -> N2 ; -- access to
    mkN2 : Str -> Str -> N2 ; -- access to
    mkN2 : N -> N2 ; -- wife of
    mkN2 : Str -> N2 -- daughter of
  } ;

-- Use the function $mkPrep$ or see the section on prepositions below to  
-- form other prepositions.
--
-- Three-place relational nouns ("the connection from x to y") need two prepositions.

  mkN3 : N -> Prep -> Prep -> N3 ;



--3 Proper names and noun phrases
--
-- Proper names, with a regular genitive, are formed from strings.

  mkPN : overload {

    mkPN : Str -> PN ;

-- Sometimes a common noun can be reused as a proper name, e.g. "Bank"

    mkPN : N -> PN
  } ;

--3 Determiners and quantifiers

  mkQuant : overload {
    mkQuant : (this, these : Str) -> Quant ;
    mkQuant : (no_sg, no_pl, none_sg, non_pl : Str) -> Quant ;
  } ;

  mkOrd : Str -> Ord ;

--2 Adjectives

  mkA : overload {

-- For regular adjectives, the adverbial and comparison forms are derived. This holds
-- even for cases with the variations "happy - happily - happier - happiest",
-- "free - freely - freer - freest", and "rude - rudest".

    mkA : (happy : Str) -> A ;

-- However, the duplication of the final consonant cannot be predicted,
-- but a separate case is used to give the comparative

    mkA : (fat,fatter : Str) -> A ;

-- As many as four forms may be needed.

    mkA : (good,better,best,well : Str) -> A 
    } ;

-- Regular comparison is formed by "more - most" for words with two vowels separated
-- and terminated by some other letters. To force this or the opposite, 
-- the following can be used:  

    compoundA : A -> A ; -- -/more/most ditto
    simpleA   : A -> A ; -- young,younger,youngest


--3 Two-place adjectives

  mkA2 : overload {
    mkA2 : A -> Prep -> A2 ; -- absent from
    mkA2 : A -> Str -> A2 ; -- absent from
    mkA2 : Str -> Prep -> A2 ; -- absent from
    mkA2 : Str -> Str -> A2 -- absent from

  } ;


--2 Adverbs

-- Adverbs are not inflected. Most lexical ones have position
-- after the verb. Some can be preverbal (e.g. "always").

  mkAdv : Str -> Adv ;
  mkAdV : Str -> AdV ;

-- Adverbs modifying adjectives and sentences can also be formed.

  mkAdA : Str -> AdA ;

-- Adverbs modifying numerals

  mkAdN : Str -> AdN ;

--2 Prepositions
--
-- A preposition as used for rection in the lexicon, as well as to
-- build $PP$s in the resource API, just requires a string.

  mkPrep : Str -> Prep ;
  noPrep : Prep ;

-- (These two functions are synonyms.)

--2 Conjunctions
--

  mkConj : overload {
    mkConj : Str -> Conj ;                  -- and (plural agreement)
    mkConj : Str -> Number -> Conj ;        -- or (agrement number given as argument)
    mkConj : Str -> Str -> Conj ;           -- both ... and (plural)
    mkConj : Str -> Str -> Number -> Conj ; -- either ... or (agrement number given as argument)
  } ;

--2 Verbs
--

-- Verbs are constructed by the function $mkV$, which takes a varying
-- number of arguments.

  mkV : overload {

-- The regular verb function recognizes the special cases where the last
-- character is "y" ("cry-cries" but "buy-buys") or a sibilant
-- ("kiss-"kisses", "jazz-jazzes", "rush-rushes", "munch - munches", 
-- "fix - fixes").

    mkV : (cry : Str) -> V ;

-- Give the present and past forms for regular verbs where
-- the last letter is duplicated in some forms,
-- e.g. "rip - ripped - ripping".

    mkV : (stop, stopped : Str) -> V ;

-- There is an extensive list of irregular verbs in the module $IrregularEng$.
-- In practice, it is enough to give three forms, 
-- e.g. "drink - drank - drunk".

    mkV : (drink, drank, drunk  : Str) -> V ;

-- Irregular verbs with duplicated consonant in the present participle.
 
    mkV : (run, ran, run, running  : Str) -> V ;

-- Except for "be", the worst case needs five forms: the infinitive and
-- the third person singular present, the past indicative, and the
-- past and present participles.

    mkV : (go, goes, went, gone, going : Str) -> V ;

-- Adds a prefix to an exisiting verb. This is most useful to create
-- prefix-variants of irregular verbs from $IrregEng$, e.g. "undertake".

    mkV : Str -> V -> V ;
  };

-- Verbs with a particle.
-- The particle, such as in "switch on", is given as a string.

  partV  : V -> Str -> V ;

-- Reflexive verbs.
-- By default, verbs are not reflexive; this function makes them that.

  reflV  : V -> V ;

--3 Two-place verbs
--
-- Two-place verbs need a preposition, except the special case with direct object.
-- (transitive verbs). Notice that a particle comes from the $V$.

  mkV2 : overload {
    mkV2  : Str -> V2 ;       -- kill
    mkV2  : V -> V2 ;         -- hit
    mkV2  : V -> Prep -> V2 ; -- believe in
    mkV2  : V -> Str -> V2 ;  -- believe in
    mkV2  : Str -> Prep -> V2 ; -- believe in
    mkV2  : Str -> Str -> V2  -- believe in
  };

--3 Three-place verbs
--
-- Three-place (ditransitive) verbs need two prepositions, of which
-- the first one or both can be absent.

  mkV3 : overload {
    mkV3  : V -> Prep -> Prep -> V3 ;   -- speak, with, about
    mkV3  : V -> Prep -> V3 ;           -- give,_,to
    mkV3  : V -> Str -> V3 ;            -- give,_,to
    mkV3  : Str -> Str -> V3 ;          -- give,_,to
    mkV3  : V -> V3 ;                   -- give,_,_
    mkV3  : Str -> V3 ;                 -- give,_,_
  };

--3 Other complement patterns
--
-- Verbs and adjectives can take complements such as sentences,
-- questions, verb phrases, and adjectives.

  mkV0  : V -> V0 ;
  mkVS  : V -> VS ;
  mkV2S : V -> Prep -> V2S ;
  mkVV  : V -> VV ;
  mkV2V : V -> Prep -> Prep -> V2V ;
  mkVA  : V -> VA ;
  mkV2A : V -> Prep -> V2A ;
  mkVQ  : V -> VQ ;
  mkV2Q : V -> Prep -> V2Q ;

  mkAS  : A -> AS ;
  mkA2S : A -> Prep -> A2S ;
  mkAV  : A -> AV ;
  mkA2V : A -> Prep -> A2V ;

-- Notice: Categories $V0, AS, A2S, AV, A2V$ are just $A$.
-- $V0$ is just $V$; the second argument is treated as adverb.

  V0 : Type ;
  AS, A2S, AV, A2V : Type ;

--2 Other categories

-- Comparison adjectives may two more forms. 

  ADeg : Type ;

  mkADeg : (good,better,best,well : Str) -> ADeg ;

-- The regular pattern recognizes two common variations: 
-- "-e" ("rude" - "ruder" - "rudest") and
-- "-y" ("happy - happier - happiest - happily")

  regADeg : Str -> ADeg ;      -- long, longer, longest

-- However, the duplication of the final consonant is nor predicted,
-- but a separate pattern is used:

  duplADeg : Str -> ADeg ;      -- fat, fatter, fattest

-- If comparison is formed by "more", "most", as in general for
-- long adjective, the following pattern is used:

  compoundADeg : A -> ADeg ; -- -/more/most ridiculous

-- From a given $ADeg$, it is possible to get back to $A$.

  adegA : ADeg -> A ;


  regPN    : Str -> PN ;          
  regGenPN : Str -> Gender -> PN ;     -- John, John's

-- Sometimes you can reuse a common noun as a proper name, e.g. "Bank".

  nounPN : N -> PN ;
